that need to be attached to the chassis – see Section 4.3.2 on page 29
Rack Mount Safety Instructions
When installing the chassis in a rack, implement the following safety instructions:
• Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature: If installed in a closed or multi-unit
rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment with maximum ambient temperature (Tma) of 40°C (104°F).
• Reduced Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that
the amount of air flow required for safe operation on the equipment is not compromised.
• Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such
that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
• Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over-current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
• Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips). For earthing the device, see Section 5.1 on page 31.
4.3.1 Using a Pre-Installed Rack Shelf
The procedure below describes how to place the device on a pre-installed shelf in a 19-inch rack.
To mount the device on a pre-installed shelf in the rack:
1. Before installing it in the rack, ensure that you have a pre-installed rack shelf on which
the device can be placed.
2. Place the device on the pre-installed shelf in the rack.

5.1 Grounding and Surge Protection
The device must be connected to earth (grounded) using an equipment-earthing conductor.
Protective Earthing
The equipment is classified as Class I EN60950 and UL60950 and must be earthed at all times.
Finland: "Laite on liltettava suojamaadoituskoskettimilla varustettuun pistorasiaan."
Norway: "Apparatet rna tilkoples jordet stikkontakt." Sweden: "Apparaten skall anslutas till jordat uttag."
Grounding and Power Surge Protection
• The device must be installed only in telecommunication sites / centers in
compliance with ETS 300-253 requirements "Earthing and Bonding of Telecommunication Equipment in Telecommunication Centers".
• Prior to installation, earth loop impedance test must be performed by a certified
electrician to ensure grounding suitability at the power outlet intended to feed the unit. It is essential that the impedance will be kept below 0.5 ohms!
• Proper grounding is crucial to ensure the effectiveness of the lightning protection,
connect the device permanently to ground (as described in the procedure below). The device's grounding screw must be connected to the equipotential grounding bus bar located in the Telecommunication rack or installation site, using a wire of 6 mm2 surface wire. If the device is installed in a rack with other equipment, the rack must be connected to the equipotential grounding bus bar of the Telecommunication room, using a stranded cable with surface area of 25 mm2. The length of this cable must be as short as possible (no longer than 3 meters).
• The device does not include primary telecom protection! When the FXO telephone
lines are routed outside the building, additional protection - usually a 350V three­electrode Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) as described in ITU-T K.44 - must be provided at the entry point of the telecom wires into the building (usually on the main distribution frame / MDF), in conjunction with proper grounding. The center pin of the GDT (MDF grounding bar) must be connected to the equipotential grounding bus bar of the Telecommunication room.
• Failing to install primary surge protectors and failing to comply with the grounding
instructions or any other installation instructions, may cause permanent damage to the device!
• As most of the installation is the responsibility of the customer, AudioCodes can
assume responsibility for damage only if the customer can establish that the device does not comply with the standards specified above (and the device is within the hardware warranty period).
• The device complies with protection levels as required by EN 55024/EN 300386.
Higher levels of surges may cause damage to the device.
• To protect against electrical shock and fire, use a minimum of 26-AWG wire size to
connect the FXO ports.
Page 32
Mediant 800
Warning:
• To avoid electric shock and/or damage to ports due to over-voltage phenomena,
you must connect the device to a reliable ground using the grounding termination located on the device's rear panel.
• When the device is powered only from the 12V DC supply (utilizing the external
power adaptor), the device is not grounded!
• Ground the device prior to connecting the telephony port interfaces (FXO, FXS,
E1/T1 and BRI).
• When powering off the device, prior to disconnecting the ground cable at the rear
panel ((if required), remove all telephony interface cables.
To ground the device:
1. Connect an electrically earthed strap of 16 AWG wire (minimum) to the chassis'
grounding screw (located on the rear panel), using the supplied washer and fasten the wire securely using a 6-32 UNC screw.
Figure 5-1: Grounding the Device
2. Connect the other end of the strap to a protective earthing. This should be in accordance
with the regulations enforced in the country of installation.

5.2 Connecting to LAN
The device provides up to four 10/100/1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet) RJ-45 ports and up to eight 10/100Base-TX (Fast Ethernet) RJ-45 ports for connection to the LAN. These Ethernet ports can operate in pairs (groups) to provide 1+1 port redundancy. In each pair, one port serves as the active port while the other as standby. When the active port fails, the device switches to the standby port.
Notes:
• The type and number of Ethernet ports depends on ordered hardware
configuration.
• The Fast Ethernet ports are available only on "pure" SBC Mediant 800 (i.e., without
PSTN / Gateway interfaces).
By default, the Ethernet ports are grouped into pairs as shown in the figure below. You can change this port assignment, including assigning only a single port to an Ethernet Group. For more information, refer to the User's Manual.
Figure 5-2: LAN Port-Pair Groups and Web Interface String Names
These ports support half- and full-duplex modes, auto-negotiation, and straight or crossover cable detection.
